Grosso Gadgetto is the alias of French electronic music producer Christian Gonzalez, known for his intricate blend of ambient, hip-hop, industrial and experimental sounds. With a background rooted in both traditional and modern electronic music, Gonzalez has carved out a niche for himself by creating immersive sonic landscapes that challenge the listener's perception of time and space. His work is marked by a deep sensitivity to sound texture, often using layered synths, field recordings and organic instruments to create evocative atmospheres. Over the years, Grosso Gadgetto has gained recognition for his contributions to the underground electronic music scene and his ability to cross genre boundaries with ease while retaining his distinct sound.

"For this album, Progressus, I wanted to do something different: very melodic tracks, sad but not aggressive, an easy-to-listen-to and soothing, yet deep, album. It addresses the urban planning of my city, which has grown from 120,000 to 170,000 inhabitants, while the political objective is 200,000. Vertical, horizontal, concrete has replaced greenery; each tower hides another, which in turn blocks the sun. My city is called Villeurbanne, also known as Villa Urbana, hence the album titles in Latin."
